It shouldn't flash anything. When you set up an e-sim, that's how it works. You basically will have multiple profiles. For us, we have Verizon as our US carrier. And when we went overseas, it connected to SK-Telecom. But some of the e-sims overseas will support multiple networks too.
What worked well for me when we went to Japan and South Korea was to set up the e-sim while I had internet back at home. Once I landed, I just switched to the other e-sim and it started working almost immediately. Pretty seamless. Then once you're back at home, switch to the Verizon e-sim. I would caution that you need to be careful as to not turn on your e-sim (or off airplane mode) until you land at home, specifically if you are on you switched back to your USA e-sim. As it will charge you insane charges really quickly once notifications start pushing.

Re: Deal - thanks OP! I had no idea this was an option with Visas!
I was actually looking for a deal on an esim while I'm in the Caribbean this summer. Both my wife and I have a Visa Infinite (CSR with her as an AU), so I'm going to see if we each get the free data as we have unique CC numbers. Combine this with other various Visas we have around the house and I think we might make it without having to buy other esims!
I will say that if you use all of the "free" GigSky allotted data, oof, the pricing is not that competitive if you look at the data blocks... Not sure how the 30% off pricing works since a lot of their data plans are "marked down" on their site.
Unfortunately, they don't list their land based roaming partners, but free is free.

This is highly dependent on your plan with T-mobile. In your case, once you exhaust your 5 GB of highspeed data, you could likely activate this as a second eSIM and use it as your "travel sim" (in iPhone terms) and just have your Tmo sim for texts and the like. I don't know about your included international roaming calling minutes, but if you are charged an astronomical fee per minute, just disable your Tmo sim while you're out and about, then switch it back on when you're on wifi for free Tmo wifi calling (I also suggest you activate airplane mode with wifi activated to 100% make sure you don't switch to OTA calling).
